The Birch Show Patrick Burns now joins us from Ghost Towns. How are you, Patrick? I'm doing great, Bert. Good man. You were saying? This is a busy, busy, busy time. I'm like Santa Claus on his final run on Christmas Eve right now. Let me tell you, at this time of year, are the spirits like more active around Halloween or is that just. I don't, I don't think there's any any increase in activity around this time of. I think it's more at the forefront of people's minds and imaginations at this time of year, but we capture this activity equally Dispersed throughout the rest of the calendar. Tell everybody what ghost towns is before we get into this. More Ghost towns is the largest paranormal investigators network in the southeast, and we have currently over 3,000 subscribers on our site. I founded the group in 2001, and we are a loosely knit network of people that go out and investigate hauntings and reports of hauntings. So is there a whole industry that caters to this specific cause where they're creating electronics and, you know, it's not really an industry, Bert. It's 99.9% of the people that do this. It's a hobby. You know, we do it for our own curiosity, our own interest. There really is. It's very difficult to make any money at this Unless you happen to be on a TV show or you happen to write a book or something like that. Most of the equipment that we use is off the shelf electronics, and we sort of modify it in some way to use it for what we need to use it for. Where do you find the most paranoid activity in Atlanta? In Atlanta, within the perimeter. Believe it or not, there's not as much activity within the city itself as you start to get into the burbs. Stone mountain, Marietta, Roswell, Lawrenceville, Gwinnett county. The surrounding areas seem to have more activity than the city itself does. There are a couple of theories about why that might be. Probably the most popular is the fact that the city was burnt down and then reconstructed and reconstructed again. So nobody really knows where things are from a historical perspective. You know, we don't really know where to go and concentrate. Okay, well, here's where. Something significant happened back in history. We can go and concentrate our efforts there. Everything is sort of scattered around. Is it true that you find more paranormal activity around graveyards, or is that just a cliche? You know, we find now there are some investigators out there that will disagree with me, and there are some that think that cemeteries and graveyards are not haunted. I believe that they are active. We have recorded a substantial amount of activity in cemeteries. And, yeah, I think there is activity in cemeteries. Usually the older ones are the more active. Melissa loves this. I do. I know. Patrick, why. Why did you get interested in this field, this hobby that's now become a career for you with your television show? But what was the first thing that happened to you where you said, I have to get into this? Well, you know, I tell everyone it probably started when I was a wee little child and watching casper the friendly ghost. And, of course, I was reassured by my parents when I was a Child growing up. There's no such things as ghosts. And about the time I was seven or eight years old, the woman who had purchased my grandparents house after they had both passed on, we lived in the house right next door and we moved away. And my grandparents house was purchased by a husband and wife who lived down the street from us. And she called my mom sometime after she had, after they had purchased my grandparents house and they said, I don't know quite how to tell you this, but I was fixing breakfast in the kitchen this morning. I turned around and your mother was standing there looking at me and she just faded away. And my mom was like, you know, big skeptic. Right, okay, whatever. Until she described what my grandmother was wearing. She said it looked like she was wearing a purple house coat or a purple or a lavender robe. And my mom's jaw, she had to pick it up off the floor at that point because that was my grandmother's favorite thing to wear around the house on the holidays. And I think that made my mom a believer. And of course, you know, how cool is that? For me, my own grandmother's been seen as a ghost. Complete topsy turvy, you know, 180 degree turn. Ghosts don't exist. Well, yes they do. Your grandmother has been seen as one. Unreal. So it just sort of became a lifelong hobby and lifelong curiosity of mine. I've told these guys, I believe. I mean I lived up in old town Alexandria, which is kind of a hotbed for activity for this kind of thing. And we lived in a townhouse and had no idea where the land was really. I mean what happened or the history of the land. Sure. And I would be up in my office in the attic and from time to time I would see the kind of just silhouette of a boy that was between 8 and 11 years old, kind of a bowl cut, in a black suit with like a white or a black really skinny tie. And every time I would see it, I would, I would turn to look at it. Sure. It was gone. Yeah. And it happened half a dozen times out of your peripheral vision. Right. That is where, where most, most apparitions that you are going to see are going to occur. Out of your, out of your peripheral vision. I tell people when they're getting into this, when they're starting to become an investigator, I say pay attention to what's going on in the corner of your eye, you know, and don't turn to look at it right away. Let it, let it sort of sit there for a little while and just sort of keep an eye on it out of the corner of your eye and see what it does. And sometimes you'll see this stuff manifest into, into what we refer to a full bodied apparition in fba. It jacks with you. Like, you start talking yourself out of it, like you know what you're seeing out of the corner of your eye, but then when you look at it and it's gone, you just talk yourself out of it. Then after it happens like five or six times in the same place, like I found myself trying to talk to it. Right. Dude, I know you're there, dude, what's up? Yeah, right. Not I've been gone. Don't be mean to me. Don't be meant me. I'm good. I'm good to you. You're good to me. Now. You don't charge for this? No, no, no. When we go out to do an investigation, you know, it's always done free of charge. If we have to travel, you know, a real long distance, we might ask you, you know, hey, can you, you know, provide us with gas money? Can you give us a Florida crash on for the night so we don't have to drive back at, you know, three o' clock in the morning? But I believe that when you start charging money to go into somebody's house and, you know, perform a paranormal investigation, first off, your results are always going to be inconclusive. You can never go in and say, hey, this place is haunted, because you can't prove the existence of ghosts from a scientific standpoint. You know, it just doesn't work that way. So when you start charging money for something that you can't prove, what really are you charging for? You know, just, just your presence there, just, you know, you, you can't sign off on it and say it's, it's haunted. So I think anytime, you know, money becomes involved in it from that angle, there's a possibility of fraud. You know, maybe somebody's gonna give somebody more, you know, more activity, more results than, you know, so that they feel like they're getting their money's worth. I see. So that, so you could charge every time you come out to the house. You could really milk it. If you're a bad ghost town and there are a few people out there. Exactly, exactly. There are a few people out there and I won't mention any names, but there are a couple of people out there that have sort of alienated themselves in the paranormal community for doing that sort of thing. And we'll never do it. Well, they don't charge at all. You can go to the website. There is a link up to it from ours right now at allthehitsq100.com to ghosthounds.com so we asked Patrick to come to all of our homes. Nobody wants a ghost in their house more than Jen Hobby. I really, really, really want would think that was so cool because I was telling Patrick I've had a couple experiences in my past. One place that I worked when I was growing up in high school, I worked at a bed and breakfast in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. And it's just this old, old house, probably built in the early 1900s. And they converted it into this tea room. It's called the Bay Gables Tea Room and bed and breakfast. And both the tea room and the bed and breakfast had strange things happening all the time. And everyone who worked there experienced something or another, whether it was just a weird feeling, feeling like things were actually moving out of place, things would be missing. You know, the cooks reported all kinds of things happening in the kitchen constantly. So that was kind of an interesting thing. And then there's always Laura in my sorority house at Florida State. And, you know, Florida State was unfortunately the site of where Ted Bundy committed all of those murders, Right. And so there was a lot of lore around the sorority houses all throughout Florida State. Even though one of them didn't happen in my house, I still, you know, went through rush and went through all of the houses, and there was one in particular where the murders happened at Florida State. So there's just a couple of different things. And I'm just fascinated by the possibility of it. I'm fascinated by the unknown. And so I just think that would be so cool to have. I just think it would be so cool to have something in my house. But I really don't think that there. I really don't think it's my house. That's why I'm like, come on, come on. You're in the minority. Most people definitely, you know, if they have activity, they want to know how to get rid of it or at the very least, learn how to live with it. It's. It's not something that people say, yeah, I want my house to be haunted. Can you get rid of them? Like, you know, that is the. The classic definition of a ghostbuster is something. And there's a difference between a ghost hunter and a ghostbuster. The ghost hunter is one who just goes in and tries to document this activity. The ghostbuster, quote unquote, or cleanser is somebody who goes in and actually tries to drive this activity out. And I do not do the later. We. We simply go in and we try to document this and present people with evidence and say, you know, look, you're not losing your mind. We got this activity as well. And, you know, maybe. Maybe there's something going on here, you know, try to live with it if you can, but there are legitimate companies. Legitimate in your mind, companies that will kind of, for lack of a better word, scare the ghost off. Well, they don't normally scare them off. They usually sort of reason with them. You know, basically, we make a distinction between a ghost and a spirit. There is actually a difference. A spirit is somebody who has died and crossed over to the other side and is able to come back. Okay. If you're talking about the definition of a ghost, this is someone who has died and is trapped between our existence of the living and the next life. Okay. And they are stuck here. They are either stuck here because they are confused. Maybe they died in a very sudden, traumatic way, and they're sort of wandering around in a. In a day, in a daze, in the afterlife. And they're confused about their condition. Exactly. The other end of the aisle. Perfect example. Or they feel like they have unfinished business, Like Patrick Swayze in the movie ghost. You know, he had to solve his. His murder or his death to cross over before he felt ready to cross over. Then maybe there are some people that weren't exactly honest people in their lives, did a few questionable things, and they are afraid of crossing over and being judged. So they hold themselves here out of fear. What's waiting for them on the other side. So in the bigger picture, then, if you're telling us that what you're telling us is true, then you are confirming to us that there is a heaven and a hell. I think there's at least some type of afterlife. There's definitely something waiting for us. And what is on the other side of that is, of course, the big mystery to mankind. And once you go over, you can't come back. No, no, no, no. That the spirit. The spirit can come back and visit. Okay, but a ghost, if you're talking about a haunting. Yeah. Usually they're. They're someone who is stuck in a. In a specific location, either by their, you know, their. Their own free will or because they are confused. And you've communicated with these. I mean, they have told you their story why they're still around. Well, we don't normally get a direct communication with that. If. If you want Wanted to establish a two way communication. You need to employ the use of a medium, a trance medium, Someone who will actually go under into a hypnotic trance. And they basically allow their body to become temporarily possessed for a short time. And you can establish a two way communication. Like Whoopi Goldberg. Very, very rare. It's very difficult to find a medium that will actually allow themselves to go under. I mean, and who can blame them? That's. That's kind of a scary thought. To allow yourself to become temporarily possessed by another being for a sport, a short period of time. So I'm still looking. Patrick Burns on with us from ghost towns. He will go to your house, he will look for this kind of activity and he will tell you if you have somebody or something living in the house there with you. He has gone to our homes. He has found that one of our homes has some activity going on. And he'll tell us which one of our homes next here. And Katie Jo just called me and was freaking out. Please. No, no. Hey, Michelle, good morning. You're on Q100. Good morning. Question is for Patrick. I've heard him say that he can see out of the peripheral vision. The ghost or admiration. Are you also able to feel their presence? Yes, actually, usually the way we detect a spirit or a ghost in a location is not through direct observation. Usually we infer their presence by the way they affect the environment. Everybody's heard of the cold spot when a ghost is present, when the temperature drops. The theory there is that a ghost consume is energy. They need energy to continue to exist. And they basically pull the heat out of their environment, the kinetic energy. And they're able to feed off of that. And in doing so, the temperature will drop in a highly localized area that's only a few feet in diameter. There are other things that can happen. The earth's magnetic fields, which of course a compass will align to for magnetic north. If you have a compass in the presence of what we believe to be a ghost, sometimes that compass will sit there and spin. It will refuse to align to magnetic north. So we usually, we infer their presence with our equipment. It's. It's very rare that you actually observe them directly. These ghosts that you talk about, you say they're just kind of like stuck in this limbo phase. That when you say stuck to me, that means that they don't want to be here. Or any ghosts are just like, you know what? I'm pretty cool here. I think I'm gonna hang out here forever. You know, I've often Wondered that. And my mentor in this field is a gentleman by the name of Han Holzer, and he's the one that actually coined the term ghost hunter back in the 1960s. And he says, no, it's unnatural. It's an unnatural condition for someone to become a ghost. It's a rare condition. And he said, once you realize, once you reveal to them, you know, you're dead and there's something waiting for you beyond this. He said, no one really wants to stay around, really, because, like, if it happened to me early and I didn't get to watch, like, Hayden grow up or something, I'd want to stick around and see, like, what he turned into. You would be there on his wedding day and all that. I don't necessarily agree with everything that Dr. Holzer says, and I think there might be exceptions. You know, there are no such things as paranormal experts. I mean, people refer to me, Patrick Burns, our paranormal expert. I'm flattered, but there's no such thing. You can't be an expert in a field that is almost entirely theoretical in nature. Again, like I said, there's so little hard scientific evidence of what we're studying, because science demands repeatability, repeatable results under controlled observations. And this is called paranormal activity for a reason, because it falls outside the norm, because it doesn't repeat on command. So it's difficult to observe and substantiate, but doesn't necessarily mean it's not real. Now, I have a question that may be outside of the realm of what you do, but of course, it's Halloween, so you start thinking about all these different things about people becoming possessed and exorcisms and that sort of thing. Right. Are you familiar with any of that? How does. How does somebody become possessed and in need of an exorcism? You know, we really. The ghost towns organization doesn't really deal in cases like that. If we get a case where someone, you know, they believe that they may have a case of possession, I usually refer that on to somebody who specializes in that field. That's admittedly a little bit over my head and a little bit further into it than I want to get. But you feel like that definitely can and does happen. You know, I'm open to all possibilities. I really am. And certainly the Catholic Church, they don't administer exorcisms very often, but they do. There are documented cases where the. And, you know, the Catholic Church is very objective, very, very skeptical. You know, they go in, they have to see actual proof before they will. They will condone an exorcism. And they don't do it very often, but when they do go in, you know, when they actually send somebody in and say, yeah, something's going on here, you know, it's, it's, it's pretty interesting. There might be something to it. Got a whole bunch of people that have questions for you. So we'll run through some commercials and when we come back, we'll spend a couple more minutes with you, take a couple of calls, and then we'll find out which Birch show member's home has some paranormal activity going on. And we've got audio from the home. Patrick found something. We'll play it for you next year on Q100, the vert show. Hey, it's Ryan Seacrest for Albertsons and Safeway.

People are fascinated by this whole subject. Just because you can't see it normal, you can't feel it, you can't touch it. So I think it's this, just this wanting to get knowledge of the unknown. Absolutely, absolutely. It's, it's really. It's one of the last great mysteries of mankind. You know, what happens to us after. After this life? Well, it gives you confirmation that there is sure. More than just being buried in the ground. Absolutely. Absolutely. And to me, and I think most people that get into ghost hunting, it's a spiritual thing, you know, beyond what mainstream religion teaches us. You know, here's what you're supposed to believe, here's what's written in the Bible. Here's some actual evidence of an afterlife. And that is. That can be very strong from a spiritual perspective on your. Your belief. Hey, James. Good Morning. You're on Q100. What's going on, fellas? What's happening? My question is, can a ghost or a spirit physically harm you? I hear this question asked to me all the time. It is extremely, extremely rare. If it, if it can even happen. I had an instance where I did an investigation in a cemetery. And the cemetery is local here to Atlanta. It's, you know, there's almost. It's taken on a. An urban legend Persona almost because of the crazy stuff that goes on here. One of the things that people report is that they come out of this place with scratch marks on their body, and I'm okay, whatever, right? And I was taken by a small group to go and investigate this a couple of years ago. And I got home, you know, getting undressed, getting ready for bed, and I happen to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. And there are scratch marks on my body. There's like four or five scratch marks on my arms, my torso and my leg, and they're all going in the same direction. Okay. And, you know, people want, you know, the skeptic wants to dismiss it, say, oh, you just ran into a thorn bush. Well, no, normally a thorn bush encounter is something you remember because rather unpleasant. And, you know, I tried to recreate it. There's no way to scratch yourself like this through clothing. You know, anything that could inflict that would get caught on the fibers of your shirt or your clothing. But I think most instances, okay, if that was an injury, okay, they're very late. Scratch marks, they went away within a, you know, a couple of days. Most instances where somebody is quote, unquote injured by a ghost, if you look at it, if you look at the report, what usually happens is somebody turns around, they see grandmother standing there, and they. They freak out, they stumble, they might trip and fall down the stairs. So it's more of a secondary reaction than it is the ghost pushed you down the stairs. Gotcha. One thing about Patrick, I mean. Cause I had seen Patrick speak a couple times at Dragon Con, and one of the things I liked about Patrick and am fascinated by hearing him talk is the fact that he comes from a skeptical point of view. Like he's saying he's trying to come at it from a scientific point of view. You can't prove it scientifically, so. And he doesn't charge. And so I think that's one of the things I like about ghost towns is because it's a hobby and it's a fascination, but it's one that. That you're. You're not. You're willing to dismiss something that isn't. Is not obviously paranoid. Oh, absolutely, Absolutely. You have to rule out the logical explanation. First off, you know, somebody says, well, I'm hearing this banging sound from. From. From behind our wall every night. I'm like, okay, well, you know, go in there and investigate a little bit. Maybe there's a hot water pipe that needs to be tied down, and there goes your ghost. Your ghost is gone. You know, we try to rule out all the possible explanations first, and then at the end of the day, it's still inconclusive. But, you know, it becomes kind of an interesting mystery when you try to rule it out and you can't. Then there are the gen hobbies who will force the issue and bang things and then pretend a ghost that actually did it. I wish. Have you ever done any ghost hunting outside of the country? Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. There are a number of locations throughout the world that I would just pardon the pun, dye to get into. Tower of London comes to mind. There's a place in Jamaica called Rose hall which has some really crazy stories. I'd love to go investigate the Mayan ruins, Mexico. And, you know, at some point, I'd love to love to put an audio recording device on the, on the bow of the Titanic. Leave it down there for about a week and come back. Let's see if, you know, can we actually record our shipwrecks on the bottom of the ocean? Haunted. I've always wondered that. My bars set way lower than that. I just like to hear what's going on. Like Claremont Lounge and what has happened there for the last hundred years or in the hotel. That's what I really want to know. Even Patrick. Patrick came over to our homes one by one a couple of weeks ago, and he brings some recording equipment with him. But not like, like, I thought you were gonna come in with like this duffel bag of stuff and you were gonna set up all this equipment. You're gonna be there for seven hours. He had the headphones on, staring into a screen. Wasn't like that at all. Well, we do that sometimes, you know, with obviously on. On my. My time constraints, I kind of had to do a very preliminary investigation. We walk in. Typically, one of my favorite pieces of equipment to use is a digital voice recorder. And these are typically used by students and business executives to record lectures and notes. And everything is stored digitally on this small pocket sized device. And, you know, when you roll it back, you listen for audio, you listen for voices and extra voices from people that weren't present at the time the recording was made. We refer to that as evp, which stands for electronic voice phenomena. There was a movie starring Michael Keaton about two years ago that came out called White Noise that dabbled in that and, and, and, you know, first 20 minutes of that movie were pretty good up until the point where they explained what EVP is and how you record it. And then it just went downhill from there. The creative got all Hollywood machine. Yeah, yeah, the Hollywood machine took over from there. But it did kind of bring EVP out of, out of obscurity and make it more of a household word term. So that's what we were looking for. And I walked through each of your homes with the digital voice recorder. I went to your home and I went to Melissa's and a Jen's, and I got some activity in one of your home. All right, let's one by one ask him, did you find anything in my house? I think you're off the hook. Okay. Nothing in my house. Nothing apparently. Now, it was a 20 minute recording session we did. And like I said that there. There's the repeatability factor. Just because I didn't get something the first time in there doesn't mean we. You don't have to justify it to me. All I need to hear is that there's nothing in my house. Okay. There's nothing in your house. Okay. Your house is unhaunted. Right. Was there anything in Jen hobbies house? Jen's house, I believe is where I picked up an EVP voice. Are you sorry? And her house was actually the one that I suspected might have some activity because it's in a very historical location. And it's worth. I got something interesting in there and I think it's possibly worth. Worth another look. We recorded some audio. It's not the clearest audio that I've recorded. Okay. But I think there is something there. You want me to play it right now? Sure, let's go ahead and listen to it. It's only three seconds long. Okay. Yeah. For me, when I got into it, it was. I heard somebody that. A ghost that sounds very much like you. Yeah. It comes just before I say. You hear. You have to listen to it very carefully. You'll hear what I think says, hi. For me, when I got into it, it was. Can't hear it there. Did you guys pick up on it? But Jen's gonna say, yeah, of course he heard it. I heard it. He said, hi, Jen, I'm happy to be in your house. I can't hear anything. Yeah. If you go in, Bert, actually further down in that file that I gave you there, I've actually isolated it later on. Okay. I've got a shorter clip and then there's an isolated clip. So let's play the shorter clip first. And again, we're. This is right before you say the word. Yes, I think. Yeah, it was. Can't hear. Here's the isolated one. It's right before I say. It. Just sounds like static to me. Yeah, yeah, there's. I think there's something in there. It's not like I said, I apologize. It's not the clearest audio that I recorded, but there might be something there. I know you want something to say, like, get out. You don't want that. But I can't hear it. Can you guys hear. Sounds like it's going, hi. It's so short. It was literally just before I said it. And maybe. Maybe there's nothing there, but I would be interested to come back. Can we hear the long hair clip again? I'm so excited for me. When I got into it, it was, it was just before I say it, I can't hear. It was, oh, hi, Jen's like clear as day. A lot of times EVP is in the ear of the beholder. So now it would make sense to us that if there was any activity in any one of our homes, I think Jen's home is probably in more of a historical place than the rest of ours. Well, I was going to ask you why you thought maybe it would be more in my home. Well, and that is again, the thing about Atlanta that I had said earlier is there's so much we don't really know what was in a lot of locations where your home is, which I think is on the east side of the city. Right. That is actually a little bit more historical. We know that part of the battle for Atlanta was fought there, that some of the Confederate troops were actually in that area and there were a lot of skirmishes and little, little battles that go on now. Also, Melissa, we did, I sat in, in your, in your rec room and we recorded for what was it about? Better part of an hour. We sat there and we just chatted. We chatted about our experiences and stuff that we have experienced. And a lot of times that's the way we record. Our best EVP is to just, instead of asking questions and waiting for a reply, just carry on a casual conversation. And many times you get something. You get these voices that chime in.

The way it works is, if I understood them correctly, you step into the booth, it goes beep, beep. It'll beep five times and then for three seconds, and then it beeps again. And during those next five beeps, you actually turn around. Okay. And then. And then it's done. Good morning, Andrew. How are you this morning? Good. How are you? All right, Andrew, your first question. If you get it right, fantastic. If you get it wrong, Hoss has to get spray tanned for the first time. All right. Sound good? And Again, we have 10 questions to rattle through. Your first question. Georgia law requires employers to grant their workers up to how many hours to vote on the day of the election. You have already given this answer out during today's show. Right? You helped us out easy. I would say up to two hours. Two hours. That is absolutely correct. All right. Good job, big man. Congratulations, Andrew. You saved them. Okay. All right. Very nice. I'm a good man. Hey, Zach. Yes. How are you doing? Good. To register to vote in the state of Georgia, you must be a citizen of the United States, a legal resident of Georgia and of the county in which you wish to vote, and at least 18 years of age by election day. If you meet those requirements, there are only two reasons you may not register to vote in Georgia. Tell me one of those reasons. You're a felon. You are a felon serving any sentence imposed by the conviction of a felony. Congratulations. Nicely done. Very nicely done. You're doing good, Hoss. I'm not gonna get tanned today. Very good. Can I have one of those questions? What do you mean? Oh, Jeff's gonna get it wrong on purpose. Are you gonna ask the second? Didn't you say there were two reasons? Yeah. The second reason there was. Don't say. Don't say, Steve. Jeff knows, okay? Oh, I don't know that one. Well, then let's play with you. Okay, so these are the two reasons why somebody would not be allowed to vote. And we've already covered age and citizenship and county residency. Right now, you can't register if you're a felon. We know that. If you're a felon. Give me the second reason. If you get it wrong, H has to get tan. I legitimately don't know. I can't get out of here. Stop talking. Your teeth will get tanned. I was going to say military, but what happened? You said it stinks. Why did it. I think because we got it wrong. We haven't got it right, hoss. Why did they fire that? We didn't get it wrong yet. I don't know. Apparently, it's censored. Like, if you. Like if you stand near the sensor, then it just starts and the door closes and everything. That was funny. He was like, the door's closing. I can't get out. I can't get out. Hey, Nicole. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good. During their last debate for governor, one of the candidates said this. Take 10 of your kin and put the big guy in. Which candidate uttered those words? Than if we do. I am sorry. That is not right. No, I don't like this. Dude. You got to keep your mouth shut. I think. Wendy, how are you? Your question? I think this one is so easy. Haas, you don't have to worry about this one, Wendy. It would be a major upset if this mainstream political party took charge of the house and the senate in Georgia today. The Democratic party. The democratic party is absolutely right. Congratulations. Thank you, Lindy. Good morning, Lindsay. Hello, Bert show. How are you? Good. How are you guys? Good, Lindsey. Voters are required to present identification at their polling place prior to casting their ballot. Which one of the following is not considered proper identification? Okay. Not considered proper identification in Georgia? A current utility bill, a valid Georgia license to carry a pistol or revolver, a valid library card, or a current utility bill showing the name and address of the elector. Can you repeat the question? Actually, there's only three choices there. I think I. I rattled off one twice. So what is not considered proper identification? A current utility bill, A valid Georgia license to carry a pistol or revolver or a valid library card. I would say a current utility bill is not the. Which one? Utility bill. She said the utility bill. The utility bill is proper identification. I'm sorry. Oh, it is. Who doesn't know that? Is it a library card? Actually, the library card is not considered proper identification. Tried to help her. Duh. Hey, Hod. Yeah. Get back at you. For being mean to me when I called you to talk to Fallon. I didn't do anything, man. Forget this. I'm not answering phones anymore. I have done anything. Have you taken a deep breath? Hey, Megan. No person may campaign distribute literature of written or printed matter of any kind where campaign buttons, signs, pins, stickers, T shirts, nothing. Circulate petitions or perform similar activities within how many feet of the building in which a polling place is located? 50ft. 50ft? I am sorry. Is it 100ft? It is 150ft. Wow. Combined, we both got it, right? Yeah, I guess 500. All right, here we go, people. Carry on. Oh, Dude, I feel like I'm in a gas chamber in there. Make sure I can breathe. You want to go outside and just take a breather or just real quick or you want to get this over with? Shouldn't you be wearing, like, a mask of some sort? You know what, Jeff? Right now, shut up. Yay. I love Jeff. I love Hoss already. I'm just trying to make sure everything works. Glad you are. Hey, Scott. Hey, how you doing? All right, man. The stakes are high here, dude. You got to help Hoss out. I hope I can, because he's getting bad. That's four times already. Yeah, that's pretty, pretty bad. All right, Scott, easy question for you, man. If one didn't like the Democratic or Republican candidates for governor, you could always vote for Garrett Michael Hayes from the. What party? The Independent party. Us, Please. Sorry, bro. Blame the Libertarians. You know what? Unfortunately, Libertarians jack up a lot of elections, so. All right, Sessions activated. Great. Loving this. Right now. 4, 4, 3, 2. Does House have any appearances coming up that people can see them? Oh, no, we will book them. Yeah. Now we will have one. Is he at Wild Bill soon or something like that? Can't breathe. Kelly, good morning. Good morning, Kelly. You are his last great hope. Come on, Kelly. All right. Six spray tans. I mean, five is a lot. Six is over the top. And he hasn't even been doing it right. So he's all streaked, and we just gotta get him out of there. His hair and Creamsicle. Are you ready? I'm ready. All right, Kelly, this one. I mean, if you've been following the elections at all. You can do it, Kelly. You can do it. Kelly, that doctor on Oprah thinks that you overall have too much bile. What? Because of Hosses Color? Not Kelly, but Hoss. Oh, yeah. No. Sorry. Kelly. Kelly. Here you go. The person inevitably responsible for making sure today's election runs smoothly is the Secretary of State. What is the name of the person of Georgia's Secretary of State? Hold on, let me think about it for a second. Oh, God, here we go. Come on, Kelly, please. Is it counting down real quick? Did I hear that girl counting down? That robotic girl? I think she's anticipating a wrong answer here. You got nothing. Please step out of the booth. You have reached the danger level. No, I cannot. Oh, please. Oh, I have no idea. Say something. Gotta give you a couple seconds. Kelly, this is the kind of thing if you don't know immediately just throw a name out. I have no clue. One. God, I'm sorry. She didn't even try for you. I know. Thanks, Kelly. That she could have just thrown out a Sonny Purdue or something. That of course was who ran against Mark Taylor in the primaries. So she was in the news. I think he should be shouting at Kelly the last time. Hoss. I can't breathe. Hey, Hoss. You're all done. That was easy. Way to go, Haas. That's it, man. You're done, bro. Didn't I originally say this is a public service thing? Yeah, yeah, you sure did. How, Hoss, how you doing? Because we educated customers, I am soaked in stuff again.
